India is grappling with the devastating aftermath of Cyclone Yaas, the second major storm to hit the country this week. At least five people have died as torrential rains and 140+ km/h winds flooded coastal villages, uprooted trees, and destroyed businesses. 💔
'We\'ve lost everything—our homes, boats, and shops,' said Ramesh Patel, a fisher from Odisha, echoing the despair felt by thousands. Rescue teams are working around the clock to clear debris and restore power in affected areas like West Bengal and Jharkhand.
🌊 Climate scientists warn such extreme weather events are intensifying due to warming ocean temperatures. Meanwhile, local communities are banding together to distribute food and supplies. Could this disaster accelerate India\'s climate resilience plans? Stay tuned for updates.
